Personal nameplate sites are pretty common. Most of them give you a single page where you post a bio, a background image, and some links to your social networks and other sites. Vizify is a new service that wants to crash the gates and turn the personal nameplate site into a truly informative and interactive experience for the people who want to learn more about you.

When you're finished, you can take your custom Vizify URL and share it with friends or potential employers.

Vizify is in public beta, and you can sign up for an invite right now—invites usually take a few days to arrive, but we've worked with the Vizify team to get 3,000 invites for Lifehacker readers who want to give the service a try right now. Just hit the link below and use the invite code LIFEHACKER to sign up and get started. When you're finished, share your profile URL in the discussions below, and let us know whether you think Vizify stands a chance against other nameplate sites already available.
